What is this?
Ok, I have a few pictures to show you. I will tell you this about it. The pictures are of the skin of a 4 year old Golden Retriever. He has a brain condition which required him to be put on long term phenobarbital and prednisone. The neurologic issues resolved with medication. Approximately 6 months after the medication was started, this happened:
The lesions are hard and crusted. The hair that is attached easily pulls off. There is some itching/discomfort associated with it but overall the dog is doing well - happy, eating, etc.
This WAS biopsied and so we do have a definite diagnoses.
Any thoughts or further questions?
My dog has something that looks exactly like that. Can you please inform of what the final dx was? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHe had calcinoisis cutis which can be caused by chronic steroid administration or Cushings dz. This resolved with medication and weaning off the steroid.
DeleteI forgot to add that blasto has been r/o. He's been on a round of doxy, a round of keflex, and now a second round of keflex 750 bid. He gets bathed 2× week with phytovet and gets an oatmeal rinse.

ReplyDeleteThanks for getting back. I'm not sure how to add pictures and I tried replying via email but it wouldn't let me. I'm scared of cutaneous lymphoma...
